The Axe To Break The Ice

Estimated Reading Time <1 Minutes

A book must be an ice axe to break the sea frozen inside us. What we need are book that hit us like a most painful misfortune, like the death of someone we loved more that we love ourselves, that makes us feel as though we had been banished to the woods, far from any human presence, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us. ~ Franz Kafka
